jolong 1 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 id say that when hes out catching rabbits in numbers he will soon get bored of runing away from you with every catch... it should come with a bit of maturity mate al the best wth him Quote Link to post Share on other sites
labsnlurchers 39 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Dont go to him ever otherwise you will more than likely be going to him for ever. Give him a call/whistle and allow him 5 mins to return if he doesnt then ignore him, walk away, turn your back on him and walk. he will more than likely crap himself and come to you but dont take the rabbit straight away, give him praise and then try to get the rabbit. If he still runs off then just repeat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
